It sounds like he's fine. The big meals probably just caught up to him.

I would highly recommend not feeding him in his cage. You don't want him to associate his cage with food.

It's also not a good idea to have his cage sitting directly on the floor. I'd suggest putting him on a table or at least getting a couple 2x4s to put under his cage, just so he's off the floor.

Welcome to Pet Talk. We'd love to hear about your other pets and we'd love to see pictures too.
